What is Virtual Currency is trying to solve, and how is it trying to solve them?
Many users of virtual currency (BTC, XRP, etc) talk about a corrupt banking system, and many other ideals, but I'd like to clearly see what specific problems its solving, or might potentially solve.
It seems that people's argument against "fiat" is being muddled with too many "benefits" of Bitcoin and so I'm looking for straight answers as to how Virtual Currency "fixes" the banking system. I'm not trying to debate Fiat vs non-fiat, but to really just get a list of problems solved with Bitcoin and virtual currency.
So far this doesn't speak to "corruptions" per-se. It just refers to consumer and legal protections under a given government (which may be very good or very bad). – goodguys_activate – 2013-10-17T17:30:55.833
So I guess all these points could be summed up by: corrupt government, legislative bodies, or ineffective or inept monetary/fiscal policy would benefit from Bitcoin.... however I know for a fact that there are many benefits to Bitcoin that avoid corruption that aren't listed above. – goodguys_activate – 2013-10-17T17:37:48.770
